We all saw how dangerous it was, thanks to the 'markers' they left behind.
Qinghan asked him why not stay on the beach and wait for rescue, we could light bonfires, maybe a passing plane would see us.
Big Beard stroked his entirely curly black beard, and said with a pout, "Impossible, have you looked at the sky? No stars, no moon, it's supposed to be daytime now, the sunniest time. If a plane flew in here, it would be trapped too."
"But the jungle is even more dangerous; we came in looking for food, not expecting such peril, I think it's better to retreat," Qinghan showed a hint of fear.
He started acting again, could he be afraid of a cannibal flower and swamp? When he saw the cannibal flower swallow a person whole, he was calmer than us.
He must be saying this deliberately for Big Beard to hear, persuading them to leave the jungle.
